Notes: I was pretty amazed by how little power is drawn by listening to music with the screen off - its less than being idle at the today screen with the screen on in windows media player.

And when using the data connection, that is what seems to suck a lot of juice, so those people who have they email check very frequently may decrease battery life by a lot
